AA Thought for the Day

December 6, 2014

Thankful
I'm still learning how to be thankful.  I must work on defects of character every morning.
Slow down and smell the flowers -- they will surely come to this beautiful valley soon, something to look forward to.
Enjoy the phone calls from friends, as far away as Toronto.  I may even learn French.
I have done something with my life, instead of complaining.
I owe it all to that day when a member of AA said to me, "Maybe you'd like to go to AA now."
Thank God I said yes.

Thought to Ponder . . .
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Achieve Anything.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
